The waxed cotton jacket—it’s the garment most likely to appear in your mind’s eye when you think of the distinguished Barbour of England line of clothing, with Barbour’s signature cotton plaid close on its heels. Cotton is an eternally durable textile and Barbour has long understood how to make the most of it. Orvis invites you to explore the beautifully tailored waxed cotton jackets and coats in this collection, where you’ll find the impeccable quality you’d expect in every single detail. Click around and see what’s new.

While you’re at it, we suggest you consider something else: utility. It’s a word you’ll find in the titles and descriptions of these designs, too. Strictly speaking, it means the state of being useful. And if there is a single component to make these fine garments so, one could argue it is the pocket. Keys, wallet, glasses, cell phone. Gloves, scarf, shells, pocket change. Tickets, claim check. Boarding pass, passport. Even an engagement ring, to say nothing of the hands that will present it. Just think of the monumental importance of this one small clothing detail. Barbour has them in spades, inside and out, zippered and otherwise, accessible from the top and the side. From their pockets to their weatherproofing and beyond, Barbour elevates utility to an art.

But don’t stop at outerwear. Discover Barbour’s beautifully tailored men’s shirts, casual or dressy. If you could package understated sophistication, it might look like one of these classic yet distinctive designs—perhaps sporting a handsome plaid, or a minuscule paisley pattern, which needn’t shout to be heard. People tend to stand up and take notice of a well-appointed man; try a classic striped cotton Oxford shirt from Barbour and see for yourself.
